ELEMENTS OF THE DIFFERENTIAL AND INTEGRAL CALCULUS ® (REVISED EDITION) | BY WILLIAM ANTHONY GRANVILLE, Pu.D., LL.D. PRESIDENT OF GETTYSBURG COLLEGE WITH THE EDITORIAL COUPERATION OF PERCEY F. SMITH, Pu.D. PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS IN-THE SHEFFIELD SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL YALE UNIVERSITY GINN AND COMPANY BOSTON + NEW YORK + CHICAGO - LONDON ATLANTA + DALLAS + COLUMBUS - SAN FRANCISCOcorynn r, 1904, 1911, BY WinitAM ANTHONY GRANVILLE AND Percy F. SMITH ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ont Tbe Atheneum Press GINN AND COMPANY - PRO- PRIETORS - BOSTON U.S.A.PREFACE That teachers and students of the Calewlus have shown such a gen- erous appreciation of Granville’s “Elements of the Differential and Integral Calculus” has been very gratifying to the author. In the last few years considerable progress has been made in the teaching of the elements of the Calculus, and in this revised edition of Granville’s “Calculus” the latest and best methods are exhibited, — methods that: have stood the test of actual classroom work. Those features of the first edition which contributed so much to its usefulness and popu- larity have been retained. The introductory matter has been cut down somewhat in order to get down to the real business of the Calculus sooner, As this is designed essentially for a drill book, the pedagogic principle that each result should be made intuitionally as well as analytically evident to the student has been kept constantly in mind. The object is not to teach the student to rely on his intuition, but, in some cases, to use this faculty in advance of analytical investigation. Graphical illustration has been drawn on very liberally. ‘This Calculus is based on the method of limits and is divided into two main parts, — Differential Calculus and Integral Calculus. As special features, attention may be called to the effort to make perfectly clear the nature and extent of each new theorem, the large number of carefully graded exercises, and the summarizing into working rules of the methods of solving problems. In the Integral Calculus the notion of integration over a plane area has been much enlarged upon, and integration as the limit of a summation is constantly emphasized. The existence of the limit ¢ has been assumed and its approximate value calculated from its graph. A large number of new examples have been added, both with and without answers. At the end of almost every chapter will be found a collection of miscellaneous examples. Among the new topics added are approximate integration, trapezoidal rule, parabolic rule, orthogonal :vi PREFACE trajectories, centers of area and volume, pressure of liquids, work done, etc. Simple practical problems have been added throughout; problems that illustrate the theory and at the same time are of interest to the student. These problems do not presuppose an extended knowledge in any particular branch of science, but are based on knowledge that all students of the Calculus are supposed to have in common. ‘The author has tried to write a textbook that is thoroughly modern and teachable, and the capacity and needs of the student pursuing a first course in the Calculus have been kept constantly in mind. The book contains more material than is necessary for the usual course of one hundred lessons given in our colleges and engineering schools ; but this gives teachers an opportunity to choose such subjects as best suit the needs of their classes. It is believed that the volume contains all topics from which a selection naturally would be made in preparing students either for elementary work in applied science or for more advanced work in pure mathematics.

Variables and constants, A variable is a quantity to which an unlimited number of values can be assigned. Variables are denoted by the later letters of the alphabet. Thus, in the equation of a straight line, 244-1, ats x and y may be considered as the variable codrdinates of a point: moving along the line. A quantity whose value remains unchanged is called a constant. Numerical or absolute constants retain the same values in all problems, as 2, 5, V7, 7, ete. Arbitrary constants, or parameters, are constants to which any one of an unlimited set of numerical values may be assigned, and they are supposed to have these assigned values throughout the investigation. They are usually denoted by the earlier letters of the alphabet. Thus, for every pair of values arbitrarily assigned to a and 8, the equation e+ $1 represents some particular straight line. 7. Interval of a variable. Very often we confine ourselves to a portion only of the number system. For example, we may restrict our variable so that it shall take on only such values as lie between a and 0, where a and } may be included, or either or both excluded. We shall employ the symbol [a, 6], a being less than 4, to represent the numbers a, }, and all the numbers between them, unless otherwise stated. This symbol [a, 0] is read the interval from a to b. 8. Continuous variation. A variable « is said to vary continuously through an interval [a, 6], when « starts with the value a and increases until it takes on the value 4 in such a manner as to assume the value 6VARIABLES AND FUNCTIONS 7 of every number between a and 6 in the order of their magnitudes. This may be illustrated geometrically as follows: 2 x b 6 Ta ce B ‘The origin being at O, lay off on the straight line the points 4 and B corresponding to the numbers a and 6. Also let the point P correspond to a particular value of the variable 2. Evidently the interval [a, 8] is represented by the segment 4B. Now as z varies continuously from a to 6 inclusive, ie. through the interval [a, 6], the point P gen- erates the segment 4B. 9. Functions. When two variables are so related that the value of the first variable depends on the value of the second variable, then the first variable is said to be a function of the second variable. Nearly all scientific problems deal with quantities and relations of this sort, and in the experiences of everyday life we are con- tinually meeting conditions illustrating the dependence of one quantity on another. For instance, the weight a man is able to lift depends on his strength, other things being equal. Similarly, the distance a boy can run may be considered as depending on the time. Or, we may say that the area of a square is a function of the length of a side, and the volume of a sphere is a function of its diameter. 10. Independent and dependent variables. The second variable, to which values may be assigned at pleasure within limits depending on the particular problem, is called the independent variable, or argument ; and the first variable, whose value is determined as soon as the value of the independent variable is fixed, is called the dependent variable, or funetion. Frequently, when we are considering two related variables, it is in our power to fix upon whichever we please as the independent variable ; but having once made the choice, no change of independent variable is allowed without certain precautions and transformations. One quantity (the dependent variable) may be a function of two or more other quantities (the independent variables, or arguments). For example, the cost of cloth is a function of both the quality and quantity ; the area of a triangle is a function of the base and altitude; the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped is a function of its three dimensions,8 DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS. 11. Notation of functions. The symbol f(z) is used to denote a function of x, and is read f of x. In order to distinguish between different functions, the prefixed letter is changed, as F(x), $(#), f'(a), ete. During any investigation the same functional symbol always indicates the same law of dependence of the function upon the variable. In the simpler cases this law takes the form of a series of analytical operations upon that variable. Hence, in such a case, the same functional symbol will indicate the same operations or series of operations, even though applied to different quantities. Thus, if f@=2— 90414, then Also FO+1)=64)- 9641) +14 = 7546, fO)=0—9-0414=14, P-D=C1- 9H + 14 = 34, f3)=8—9-8414=—4, fD=T—9-T+14 = 0, ete. Similarly, $(2, y) denotes a function of z and y, and is read $ of and y. lf o@ya=sin@t+y), then (a, b)=sin(a +), and $(§-0)=sin 5 =1, Again, if Fe ye) =204+8y-122, then F(m, —m, m)= 2m —8m—12 m =—18 m, and FQ, 2%, 1) =2°843-2—12-1=0. Evidently this system of notation may be extended indefinitely. 12. Values of the independent variable for which a function is defined. Consider the functions w@—2xr+5, sing, are tang of the independent variable 2 Denoting the dependent variable in each case by y, we may write y=e—2Qat5, y=sing, y=are tanaVARIABLES AND FUNCTIONS 9 In each case y (the value of the function) is known, or, as we say, defined, for all values of 2. This is not by any means true of all functions, as the following examples illustrating the more common exceptions will show. Oy i Here the value of y (i.e. the function) is defined for all values of x except 2=, When 2=6 the divisor becomes zero and the value of y cannot be computed from (1).* Any value might be assigned to the function for this value of the argument. Q y=va. In this case the function is defined only for positive values of 2. Negative values, of x give imaginary values for y, and these must be excluded here, where we are confining ourselves to real numbers only. (8) y=log,e. a>0 Here y is defined only for positive values of z. For negative values of x this function does not exist (see § 19). a (4) y=aresina, y =are cosa. Since sines and cosines cannot become greater than +1 nor less than —1, it follows that the above functions are defined for all values of ranging from —1 to + 1 inclusive, but for no other values.

Ans. —.0204,CHAPTER III THEORY OF LIMITS 13, Limit of a variable. If a variable v takes on successively a seriés of values that approach nearer and nearer to a constant value J in such a manner that |» — J|* becomes and remains less than any assigned arbitrarily small positive quantity, then v is said to approach the limit 1, ov to converge to the limit l. Symbolically this is written limit v= 1, or, v=. The following familiar examples illustrate what is meant: (1) As the number of sides of a regular inscribed polygon is indefinitely increased, the limit of the area of the polygon is the area of the circle. In this case the variable is always less than its limit. (2) Similarly, the limit of the area of the circumscribed polygon is also the area of the circle, but now the variable is always greater than tts Limit. (3) Consider the series Hoa (4) Tease The sum of any even number (27) of the first terms of this series is 4 tt al al: 1 Syal—5+q—gt tg ot 2 1 (B) Su= 53 By 6, p.1 Similarly, the sum of any odd number (2”-+1) of the first terms of the series is 111 1061 Smu=l—gt+g—gts— gat ge oT gen Al ©) gay eo By 6, p.1 # To be read the numerical value of the difference between v and l.12 DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS Writing (B) and (@) in the forms 2 1 F- Seager Sen Gay limit (2 _ limit 1 we have : " G-s.)=,) reaeh end limit (s. 3)= limit 1 n=0 3) "asad an +1 3, Hence, by definition of the limit of a variable, it is seen that both: S,, and S;,4, are variables approaching 2 as a limit as the number of terms increases without limit. Summing up the first two, three, four, etc., terms of (4), the sums are found by (B) and (C) to be alternately less and greater than 3, illustrating the case when the variable, in this case the sum of the terms of (A), is alternately less and greater than its limit. In the examples shown the variable never reaches its limit. This is not by any means always the case, for from the definition of the témit of a variable it is clear that the essence of the definition is simply that the numerical value of the difference between the variable and its limit shall ultimately become and remain less than any positive number we may choose, however small. (4) As an example illustrating the fact that the variable may reach its limit, consider the following. Let,a series of regular polygons be inscribed in a circle, the number of sides increasing indefinitely. Choosing any one of these, construct the circumscribed polygon whose sides touch the circle at the vertices of the inscribed polygon. Let p, and B be the perimeters of the inscribed and circumscribed polygons of n sides, and C the circumference of the circle, and suppose the values of a variable x to be as follows: pe Cb Pee CO; hee el. Then, evidently, and the limit is reached by the variable, every third value of the variable being C. i 14. Division by zero excluded. 0 is indeterminate. For the quotient of two numbers is that number which multiplied by the divisor will give the dividend. But any number whatever multiplied by zero givesTHEORY OF LIMITS 13 zero, and the quotient is indeterminate; that is, any number whatever may be considered as the quotient, a result which is of no value. a . oa: . ‘ & has no meaning, a being different from zero, for there exists no number such that if it be multiplied by zero, the product will equal a. Therefore division by zero is not an admissible operation. Care should be taken not to divide by zero inadvertently, ‘The following fallacy is an illustration. Assume that ‘Then evidently Subtracting 0%, Factoring, Dividing by a —b, But therefore or, ‘The result is absurd, and is caused by the fact that we di ed by a 0. 15. Infinitesimals. A variable » whose limit is zero is called an infinitesimal.” ‘This is written limit» = 0, or, v= 0, and means that the successive numerical values of v ultimately become and remain less than any positive number however small. Such a variable is said to become indefinitely small or to ultimately vanish. It limit v = 1, then limit (» — = that is, the difference between a variable and its limit is an infinitesimal. Conversely, if the difference between a variable and a constant is an infinitesimal, then the variable approaches the constant as a limit. 16. The concept of infinity (co). If a variable v ultimately becomes and remains greater than any assigned positive number however large, we say v increases without limit, and write limit v=+ 00, or, v=+o. If a variable v ultimately becomes and remains algebraically less than any assigned negative number, we say v decreases without limit, oud ate limit» =— 0, or, » ‘*Hence a constant, no matter how small it may be, is not an infinitesimal,14 DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS If a variable v ultimately becomes and remains in numerical value greater than any assigned positive number however large, we say v, in numerical value, increases without limit, or v becomes infinitely great,* and write limit v= 00, or, v= 00. Infinity (0) is not a number; it simply serves to characterize a particular mode of variation of a variable by virtue of which it increases or decreases without limit. 17. Limiting value of a function. Given a function f(z). If the independent variable z takes on any series of values such that limit «= and at the same time the dependent variable f(x) takes on a series of corresponding values such that limit f(z) =4, then as a single statement this is written lim 44) = and is read the limit of f(), as x approaches the limit a in any manner, is A, 18. Continuous and discontinuous functions. A function f(2) is said to be continuous for « =a if the limiting value of the function when approaches the limit a in any manner is the value assigned to the function for z=a. In symbols, if wat f@) =F@), then f(2) is continuous for x =a. The function is said to be discontinuous for x =a if this condition is not satisfied. For example, if Limit 72) = 0 the function is discontinuous for 2= a. ‘The attention of the student is now called to the following cases which occur frequently. *On account of the notation used and for the sake of uniformity, the expression v 4+ is sometimes read » approaches the limit plus infinity. Similarly, v += is read v approaches the limit minus infinity, and + is read v, in numerical value, approaches the limit infinity. ‘While the above notation is convenient to use in this connection, the student must not forget that infinity is not a limit in the sense in which we defined a limit on p. 11, for infinity is not a number at all.THEORY OF LIMITS 15 Case I. As an example illustrating a simple case of a function continuous for a particular value of the variable, consider the function x @=5 For ¢=1, f(z) =f(1)=8. Moreover, if x approaches the limit 1 in any manner, the function f(e) approaches 8 as a limit. Hence the function is continuous for 2 =1. Case II. The definition of a continuous function assumes that the function is already defined for 2=a. If this is not the case, however, it is sometimes possible to assign such a value to the function for z=a that the condition of continuity shall be satisfied. The following theorem covers these cases. Theorem. Lf f(x) ts not defined for x= a, and ' wr FC) =B, then f(2) will be continuous for x =a, if B is assumed as the value of f(@) for x=a, Thus the function v4 z—2 is not defined for 2 = 2 (since then there would be division by zero). But for every other value of 2, limit and pet D=4; limit 2°— 4 therefore ime Although the function is not defined for z= 2, if we arbitrarily assign it the value 4 for z= 2, it then becomes continuous for this value. A function f(2) is said to be continuous in an interval when it is continuous for all values of x in this interval.* ‘In this book we shall deal only with functions which are in general continuous, that is, continuous for all values of , with the possible exception of certain isolated values, our results in general being understood as valid only for such values of x for which the function in question is actually continuous. Unless special attention is called thereto, we shall as a rule pay no attention to the possibilities of such exceptional values of for which the function is discontinuous. ‘The definition of a continuous funetion f(z) is sometimes roughly (but imperfectly) summed up in the statement that @ sinall change in x shall produce « small change in f(z). We shall not consider funetions having an infinite number of oscillations in a limited region.r : 16 DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS 19. Continuity and discontinuity of functions illustrated by their graphs. (1) Consider the function 2’, and let “4 yar. If we assume values for 2 and calculate the corresponding values of y, we can plot a series of points. Drawing a smooth line free-hand [ through these points. a good representation of the gen- cral behavior of the unction may be obtained. ‘This picture or image of the function is called its graph. It is evidently the locus of all points satisfying equation (A). Such a series or assemblage of points is also called acurve, Evidently we may assume values of x so near together as to bring the values of y (and therefore the points of the curve) as near together as we please. In other words, there are no breaks in the curve, and the function 2” is continuous for all values of 2. (2) The graph of the continuous function sinz is plotted by drawing the locus of 0 x . |O x y=sina. It is seen that no break in the curve occurs anywhere. (3) The continuous function e is of very frequent occurrence in the Calculus. If we plot its graph from y=e, (¢=2.718--) ¥ we get a smooth curve as shown. From this it is clearly seen that, 1 (a) when x= 0, Jmlt y=) =1; a (b) when 2>0, y(=c*) is positive and increases as we pass towards the right from the origin; (ce) when 2<0, y(=@) is still positive and decreases as we pass towards the left from the origin. 7 (4) The function log, is closely related to the last one discussed. In fact, if we plot its graph | x from oie it will be seen that its graph has the same relation to OX and OY as the graph of e* has to OY and OX.THEORY OF LIMITS 17 Here we see the following facts pictured : (a) For #=1, log.« = log,1= 0. (b) For 2 >1, log, is positive and increases as « increases, (c) For 1>2>0, log, is negative and increases in numerical value as x diminishes, that is, !™* log 2 =— 0. (A) For x=, log.z is not defined ; hence the entire graph lies to the right of OY. hg (5) Consider the function 4, and set = If the graph of this function be plotted, it will be seen that as x approaches the value zero from the left (negatively), the points of the curve ultimately drop down an infinitely great distance, and as 2 approaches the value zero from the right, the curve extends upward infinitely far. The curve then does not form a continuous branch from one side to the other of the axis of ¥, showing graphically that the function is discontinuous for z = 0, but continuous for all other values of 2. (6) From the graph of _ 2 7 it is seen that the function Qa 1-2 is discontinuous for the two values 241, but continuous for all other values of 2. (7) The graph of yestane shows that the function tana is discontinuous for infinitely many values of the independent variable z, namely, z=", where n denotes any odd positive or negative integer, (8) The function are tan &Bb DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS has infinitely many values for a given value of 2, the graph of equation y= are tana consisting of infinitely many branches. If, however, we confine ourselves to any single branch, the function is continuous. For instance, if we say that y shall be the are of smallest numerical value whose tangent is 2, that is, y shall take 2 limited to the branch passing through the origin, and the condition for continuity is satisfied. (9) Similarly, on only values between —7 and 7, then we are are tan, 2 is found to be a many-valued function. Confining ourselves to one branch of the graph of ye tan , we see that as 2 approaches zero from the left, y approaches the limit — Z, and as approaches zero from the right, y approaches the 2 PP ight, y apy limit + z Hence the function is discontinuous when 2=0. Its value for 2=0 can be assigned at pleasure. Functions exist which are discontinuous for every value of the independent variable within a certain range. In the ordinary applications of the Cal- culus, however, we deal with functions which are discontinuous (if at all) only for certain isolated values of the independent variable s such functions are therefore in general continuous, and are the only ones considered in this book. 20, Fundamental theorems on limits. In problems involving limits the use of one or more of the following theorems is usually implied. It is assumed that the limit of each variable exists and is finite. Theorem I. The limit of the algebraic sum of a finite number of variables is equal to the like algebraic sum of the limits of the several variables. Theorem II. The limit of the product of a finite number of variables ts equal to the product of the limits of the several variables. Theorem III. The limit of the quotient of two variables is equal to the quotient of the limits of the separate variables, provided the limit of the denominator is not zero.THEORY OF LIMITS 1 Before proving these theorems it is necessary to establish the fol lowing properties of infinitesimals. 1) The sum of a finite number of infinitesimals ts an infinitesimal. ‘To prove this we must show that the numerical value of this sum can be made Jess than any small positive quantity (as e) that may be igned (§ 15). That this is possible is evident, for, the limit of each infinitesimal being zero, each one can be made numerically less than £ (nm being the number of infinitesimals), and therefore their sum can n be made numerically less than e (2) The product of a constant ¢ and an infinitesimal is an infinitesimal. For the numerical value of the product can always be made less than any small positive quantity (ase) by making the numerical value of the infinitesimal Jess than £. e (3) The product of any finite number of infinitesimals és an infinitesimal. For the numerical yalue of the product may be made less than any small positive quantity that can be assigned. If the given product contains » factors, then since each infinitesimal may be assumed less than the xth root of ¢, the product can be made less than e itself. (4 Ifo ts a variable which approaches a limit l different from zero, then the quotient of an infinitesimal by v is also an infinitesimal. For if limit » = J, and & is any number numerically less than J, then, by definition of a limit, v will ultimately become and remain numerically greater than & Hence the quotient £, where ¢ is an infinitesimal, will ulti- 0 mately become and remain numerically less than 4, and is therefore by (2) an infinitesimal.

Implicit functions. When a relation between z and y is given by means of an equation not solved for y, then y is called an implicit function of x For example, the equation 2—4dy=0 defines y as an implicit function of 2. Evidently z is also defined by means of this equation as an implicit function of y. Similarly, e+y+2—ae=0 defines any one of the three variables as an implicit function of the “other two. It is sometimes possible to solve the equation defining an implicit function for one of the variables and thus change it into an explicit function. For instance, the above two implicit functions may be solved for y, giving 2 Jag and y=tVe—2—2; the first showing y as an explicit function of 2, and the second as an explicit function of z and z. In agiven case, however, such a solution may be either impossible or too complicated for convenient use. ‘The two implicit functions used in this article for illustration may be respectively denoted by ¢(n, y= 0 and Fay )=0. 63. Differentiation of implicit functions. When y is defined as an implicit function of x by means of an equation in the form 1c) S@N=% it was explained in the last section how it might be inconvenient to solve for y in terms of x; that is, to find yas an explicit function of « so that the formulas we have deduced in this chapter may be applied directly.

If a multiple root occurs an even number of times, the graph will not eross the axis of X at such a point (see figure); if it occurs an odd number of times, the graph will cross.90 DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS 70.

If P moves with uniform motion, the above ratio will have the same value for every interval of time and is the velocity at any instant.

Our notion of velocity tells us ab once that (C) does not give us the actual velocity at the end of two seconds; for even if we take At very small, say zh; or alg of a second, (C) still gives only the average velocity during the corresponding small interval of'time. But what we do mean by the velocity at the end of two seconds is the limit of the average velocity when At diminishes towards zero; that is, the velocity at the end of two seconds is from (C), 64.4 ft. per second. ‘Thus even the everyday notion of velocity which we get from experi- ence involves the idea of a limit, or in our notation _ limit /As\_ ; =O (a3) = 64.4 ft. per second.

A great many practical problems occur where we have to deal with functions of such a nature that they have a greatest (maximum) value or a least (minimum) value,* and it is very important to know what particular value of the variable gives such a value of the function, For instance, suppose that it is required to find the dimensions of the rectangle of greatest area that can be inscribed in a circle of radius 5 inches. Consider the circle in the following figure : Inseribe any rectangle, as BD. Let CD= 2; then DE =V100 —23, and the area of the rectangle is evidently @ A=xV100—2, ‘That a rectangle of maximum area must exist may be seen as follows: Let the base CD (=2) increase to 10 inches (the diameter); then the altitude D&Z=V100 —a? will decrease to zero and the area will become zero. Now let the base decrease to zero; then the altitude will increase to 10 inches and the area will again become zero. It is therefore intuitionally evident that there exists a greatest rectangle. By a careful study of the figure we might sus- pect that when the rectangle becomes a square its area would be the greatest, but this would at best be mere guess- work. A better way would evidently be to plot the graph of the function (1) and note its behavior. To aid us in drawing the graph of (1), we observe that (a) from the nature of the problem it is evident that 2 and 4 must both be positive; and (b) the values of x range from zero to 10 inclusive. * There may be more than one of each, as illustrated on p. 109. 108104 DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS Now construct a table of values and draw the graph. What do we learn from the graph? 19.6 28.6 36.6 43.0 48.0 49.7 48.0 39.6 0.0 Secwrcaawwne (a) If carefully drawn, we may find quite accurately the area of the rectangle corresponding to any value of x by measuring the length of the corresponding ordinate. ‘Thus, when z= 0M=8 inches, then A= MP = 28.6 square inches 5 and when r= ON =4} inches, then A=NQ= about 39.8 sq. in. (found by measurement). (b) There is one horizontal tangent (RS). The ordinate 7H from its point of contact 7’ is greater than any other ordinate. Hence this discovery: One of the inscribed rectangles has evidently a greater area than any of the others. In other words, we may infer from this that the function defined by (1) has a mazimum value, We cannot find this value (= HZ) exactly by measurement, but it is very easy to find, using Calculus methods. We observed that at 7’ the tangent was horizontal; hence the slope will be zero at that point (Illustrative Example 1, p. 74). To find the abscissa of 7 we then find the first derivative of (1), place it equal to zero, and solve for 2. Thus om A=2V100—2, dA _100—227 dz V100—2? 100-22" _ 4MAXIMA AND MINIMA 105 Solving, x=5V2, Substituting back, we get D#=V100—2 =5V2. Hence the rectangle of maximum area inscribed in the circle is a square of area os A=CD x DE=5V2 x 5V2=50 square inches. The length of HT is therefore 50. ; Take another example. A wooden box is to be built to contain 108 cu. ft. It is to have an open top and a square base. What must be its dimensions in order that the amount of material required shall be a minimum; that is, what dimensions will make the cost the least ? Let =length of side of square base in feet, and _y=height of box. Since the volume of the box is given, how- |i ever, y may be found in terms of 2. Thus volume = 2*y =1083 .-. y=. We may now express the number (=I) of square feet of lumber required as a function of z as follows: area of base = 2? sq, ft., and area of four sides = 4ay = a2 sq. fl. Hence 432 (©) M=274+— z My { | sort mp t x | ar { ort 1 | 438 1 2 | 220 =| 1 3 | 158 sso; 3 [am 2 ri | ' 6 | 108 el 118 7 | a mr | fod ae of | id 1 tot ' ' 10 | 143 ele ' ia oft sa is a formula giving the number of square feet required in any such box having a capacity of 108 cu. ft. Draw a graph of (2).106 DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS. What do we learn from the graph? (a) If carefully drawn, we may measure the ordinate corresponding to any length (=) of the side of the square base and so determine the number of square feet of lumber required. (b) There is one horizontal tangent (RS). ‘The ordinate from its point of contact 7 is less than any other ordinate. Hence this discovery: One of the boxes evidently takes less lumber than any of the others. In other words, we may infer that the function defined by (2) has @ minimum value. Let us find this point on the graph exactly, using our Calculus. Differentiating (2) to get the slope at any point, we have 432 ee At the lowest point 7’ the slope will be zero. Hence 432 ee that is, when z= 6 the least amount of lumber will be needed. Substituting in (2), we see that this is M=108 sq. ft. The fact that a least value of If exists is also shown by the following reasoning. Let the base increase from a very small square to a very large one. In the former case the height must be very great and therefore the amount of lumber required will be large. In the latter case, while the height is small, the base will take a great deal of lumber. Hence M varies from a large value, grows less, then increases again to another large value. It follows, then, that the graph must have a “lowest” point corresponding to the dimensions which require the least amount of lumber, and therefore would involve the least cost. We will now proceed to the treatment in detail of the subject of maxima and minima. 80. Increasing and decreasing functions.* A function is said to be increasing when it increases as the variable increases and decreases as the variable decreases. A function is said to be decreasing when it decreases as the variable increases and increases as the variable decreases. ‘The proofs given here depend chiefly on geometric intuition. The subject of Maxima, and Minima will be treated analytically in § 108, p. 167.MAXIMA AND MINIMA 107 The graph of a function indicates plainly whether it is increasing or decreasing. For instance, consider the function @* whose graph (Fig. a) is the locus of the equation yore. a>1 As we move along the curve from left to right the curve is rising + that is, as 2 increases the function (= y) always increases. ‘Therefore a* is an increasing function for all values of 2. Fre. a Fie. b On the other hand, consider the function (a—2)* whose graph (Fig. 2) is the locus of the equation y=(@—2). Now as we move along the curve from left to right the curve is ‘falling ; that is, as x increases, the function (= y) always decreases. Hence (a—z)* is a decreasing function for all values of 2. : That a function may be sometimes increasing and sometimes decreasing is shown by the graph (Fig. c) of y=2a®— Gat +1203. As we move along the curve from left to right the curve rises until we reach the point 4, then it falls from A to B, and to the right of B it is always rising. Hence Fie. (a) from z=— @ tox =1 the function is inereasing ; (b) from x to x= 2 the function is decreasing ; (c) from x= 2 to x=+ 0 the function is increasing.| | 108 DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS The student should study the curve carefully in order to note the behavior of the function when z=1 and x= 2 Evidently A and B are turning points. At 4 the function ceases to increase and com- mences to decrease; at B, the reverse is true. At A and B the tangent (or curve) is evidently parallel to the axis of X, and therefore the slope is zero. 81. Tests for determining when a function is increasing and when decreasing. It is evident from Fig. ¢ that at a point, as C, where a funetion y=f@ is inereasing, the tangent in general makes an acute angle with the axis of X; hence d slope = tant = 22. = f(a) = a positive number. dx Similarly, at a point, as D, where a function is decreasing, the tangent in general makes an obtuse angle with the axis of X; therefore slope = tan 7 = Wt = #1(2) = a negative number.* a Jn order, then, that the function shall change from an increasing to a decreasing function, or vice versa, it is a necessary and sufficient condition that the first derivative shall change sign. But this can only happen for a continuous derivative by passing through the value zero. Thus in Fig. ¢, p. 107, as we pass along the curve the derivative (=slope) changes sign at A and B where it has the value zero. In general, then, we have at turning points (18) The derivative is continuous in nearly all our important applications, but it is interesting to note the case when the derivative (= slope) changes sign by passing through «.f This would evidently *Conversely, for any given value of 2, iff’ (e) =4, then f (2) is increasing ; Uf’ (2) =~, then f (x) is decreasing. When “(2) = 0, we cannot decide without further investigation whether f(z) is increas. ing or decreasin, '{ By this is meant that its reciprocal passes through the value zero.MAXIMA AND MINIMA 109 happen at the points B, HZ, G in the following figure, where the tangents (and curve) are perpendicular to the axis of X. At such exceptional turning points YY _ 912) = 03 Pas @=03 or, what amounts to the same thing, A 0 I@) 82, Maximum and minimum values of a function. A maximum value of a function is one that is greater than any values immediately preceding or following. A minimum value of a function is one that is less than any values immediately preceding or following. Fie. d For example, in Fig. c, p. 107, it is clear that the function has a maximum value Jf4 (= y = 2) when «=1, and a minimum value NB (=y =) when x= 2. The student should observe that a maximum value is not neces- sarily the greatest possible value of a function nor a minimum value the least. For in Fig. e it is seen that the function (= y) has values to the right of B that are greater than the maximum JA, and values to the left of A that are less than the minimum VB. A function may have several maximum and minimum values. Suppose that the above figure represents the graph of a function f@)- ‘At B, D, G, I, K the function is a maximum, and at C,H, H, Ja minimum. That some particular minimum value of a function may be greater than some particular maximum value is shown in the figure, the minimum values at C and H being greater than the maximum value at K.110 DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS At the ordinary turning points C, D, #, 1 J, K the tangent (or curve) is parallel to OX; therefore slope = & =fl@)=0. ‘At the exceptional turning points B, B, G the tangent (or curve) is perpendicular to OX, giving slope = = (2) =20. One of these two conditions is then necessary in order that the function shall have a maximum ora minimum value. But such a condition is not sufficient; for at # the slope is zero and at it is infinite, and yet the function has neither a maximum nor a minimum value at either point. It is necessary for us to know, in addition, how the function behaves in the neighborhood of each point. Thus at the points of maximum value, B,D, G, I, K, the function changes from an increasing to a decreasing function, and at the points of minimum value, C, B, H, J, the function changes from a decreasing to an increasing function. Tt therefore follows from § 81 that at mazimum points slope = # = f"(a) must change from + to—, and at minimum points slope = % = f'(a) must change from — to + when we move along the curve from left to right. ‘At such points as A and F where the slope is zero or infinite, but which are neither mazimum nor minimum points, slope = # = f"(#) does not change sign. We may then state the conditions in general for maximum and minimum values of f (2) for certain values of the variable as follows: (19) f(x) is a maximum if f'(x) = 0, and f!(x) changes from + to—. 20) f(x) is a minimum if f'(~) = 0, and f'(x) changes from — to+. ; ‘The values of the variable at the turning points of a function are called critical values ; thus z=1 and z= 2 are the critical values ofMAXIMA AND MINIMA 111 the variable for the function whose graph is shown in Fig. , p. 107. The critical values at turing points where the tangent is parallel to OX are evidently found by placing the first derivative equal to zero and solving for real values of z, just as under § 64, p. 73." To determine the sign of the first derivative at points near a particular turning point, substitute in it, first, a value of the variable just a little less than the corresponding critical value, and then one a little greater.t If the first gives + (as at L, Fig. d, p. 109) and the second — (as at Jf), then the function (= y) has a maximum value in that interval (as at I). If the first gives — (as at P) and the second + (as at 1), then the function (= y) has a minimum value in that interval (as at C). If the sign is the same in both cases (as at Q@ and R), then the function (= y) has neither a maximum nor a minimum value in that interval (as at 7). We shall now summarize our results into a compact working rule. 83. First method for examining a function for maximum and minimum values. Working rule.

Set the first derivative equal to zero$ and solve the resulting equation for real roots in order to find the critical values of the variable. Tump Srep. Write the derivative in factor forms. if it is algebraic, write it in linear form. Fourtu Strep. Considering one critical value at a time, test the first derivative, first for a value a trifle less and then for a value a trifle greater than the critical value. If the sign of the derivative is first + and then—, the function has a maximum value for that particular critical value of the variable ; but if the reverse is true, then it has a minimum value. If the sign does not change, the function has neither. * Similarly, if we wish to examine a function at exceptional turning points where the tangent is perpendicular to OX, we set the reciprocal of the first derivative equal to zero and solve to find critical values. In this connection the term “little less,” or "trifle less,”” means any value between the next smaller root (critical value) and the one under consideration; and the term “little greater,” or “trifle greater,” means any value between the root under consideration and the next larger one. }A similar discussion will evidently hold for the exceptional turning points B, Z, and 4 respectively. § When the first derivative becomes infinite for a certain value of the independent variable, then the function should be examined for such a critical value of the variable, for it may give maximum or minimum values, as at B, E, or A (Fig. d, p. 109). See footnote on p. 108,112 DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS In the problem worked out on p. 104 we showed by means of the graph of the function A=xV100—2? that the rectangle of maximum area inscribed in a circle of radius 5 inches contained 50 square inches. ‘This may now be proved analytically as follows by applying the above rule.

Second method for examining a function for maximum and minimum values. From (19), p. 110, it is clear that in the vicinity of a maximum value of f(2), in passing along the graph from left to right, S'(®) changes from + to 0 to —. Hence f'(2) is a decreasing function, and by § 81 we know that its derivative, ie. the second deriy- ative [=/"(2)] of the function itself, is negative or zero. Similarly, we have, from (20), p. 110, that in the vicinity of a minimum value of f(x) F'(a) changes from — to 0 to +. Hence f’(x) is an increasing function and by § 81 it follows that f"(@) is positive or zero.MAXIMA ‘AND MINIMA 113 The student should observe that f(x) is positive not only-at mini. mum points (as at 4) but also at points such as P. For, as a point passes through P in moving from left to right, d ee slope = tant = a = f'(z) ts an inereasing function. he At such a point the curve is said to be concave upwards. Similarly, f"(2) is negative not only at maximum points (as at B) but also at points such as Q. For, as a point passes through Q, slope = tant = % =f"(2) ta a decreasing function, At such a point the curve is said to be concave downwards.* We may then state the sufficient conditions for maximum and minimum values of f(z) for certain values of the variable as follows: 21) f(x) is a maximum if f'(x) = 0 and f"(x) = a negative number. 22) (2) isa minimum if f'(x) =0 and f"(x) =a positive number. Following is the corresponding working rule. Finsr Srev. Find the first derivative of the function. Sxconp Strep. Set the first derivative equal to zero and solve the resulting equation for real roots in order to find the critical values of the variable. Turep Step, Find the second derivative, Fourtn Srep. Substitute each critical value for the variable in the second derivative. If the result is negative, then the function is a maximum Sor that critical value; if the result is positive, the function is a minimum. When f(x) = 0, or does not exist, the above process fails, although there may even then be a maximum or a minimum; in that case the first method given in the last section still holds, being fundamental. Usually this second method does apply, and when the process of finding the second derivative is not too long or tedious, it is generally the shortest method. Let us now apply the above rule to test analytically the function Maa +32 x found in the example worked out on p. 105. * At a point where the curve is concave upwards we sometimes say that the curve has a positive bending, and where it is concave downwards a negative bending.114 DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS Solution. feyaate 2.

Hence (6) = 108, minimum value. ‘The work of finding maximum and minimum values may frequently be simplified by the aid of the following principles, which follow at once from our discussion of the subject. (a) The maximum and minimum vabies of a continuous function must occur alternately. (b) When eis a positive constant, ¢-f (a) is a maximum or a minimum for such values of x, and such only, as make f (a) a maximum or a minimum. Hence, in determining the critical values of # and testing for maxima and minima, any constant factor may be omitted. When e is negative, ¢-f(a) is a maximum when f(a) is a minimum, and conversely. (©) Ff ¢ is a constant, f(@) and e+ f(a) have maximum and minimum values for the same values of x. Hence a constant term may be omitted when finding critical values of @ and testing, In general we must first construct, from the conditions given in the problem, the function whose maximum and minimum values are required, as was done in the two examples worked out on pp. 103- 106. This is sometimes a problem of considerable difficulty. No rule applicable in all cases can be given for constructing the function, but in a large number of problems we may be guided by the following General directions. (a) Express the function whose maximum or minimum is involved in the problem. (b) If the resulting expression contains more than one variable, the conditions of the problem will furnish enough relations between the variables so that all may be expressed in terms of a single one.MAXIMA AND MINIMA 115 (©) To the resulting function of a single variable apply one of our two rules for finding maximum and minimum values. (A) In practical problems it is usually easy to tell which critical value will give a maximum and which a minimum value, 80 it is not always necessary to apply the fourth step of our rules, (c) Draw the graph of the function (p. 104) in order to check the work, PROBLEMS 1.

Points of inflection. Definition. Points of inflection separate arcs concave upwards from ares concave downwards.* Thus, if a curve y=J(@) changes (as at B) from concave upwards (as at A) to concave downwards (as at C’), or the reverse, then such a point as B is a point of inflection. * Points of inflection may also be defined as points where or ay ®y : 2H gana 2 on @) F¥-o.and SY changes sign, ) Fen 0 and 7m changes sign.126 DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS From the discussion of § 84 it follows at once that at 4, f"(r)=+, and at C,f"(@)=—. In order to change sign it must pass through the value zero;* hence we have 3) at points of inflection, f(x) = 0. Solving the equation resulting from (28) gives the abscissas of the points of inflection. To determine the direction of curving or direction of bending in the vicinity of a point of in- @ flection, test f"() for values of 2, first a trifle less and then a trifle greater than the abscissa at that point. Iff"(2) changes sign, we have a point of inflection, and the signs obtained determine if the curve is concave upwards or concave downwards in the neighborhood of each point of inflection. ‘The student should observe that near a point where the curve is concave upwards (as at 4) the curve lies above the tangent, and at a point where the curve is concave downwards (as at ()) the curve lies below the tangent. At a point of inflection (as at B) the tangent: evidently crosses the curve. Following is a rule for finding points of inflection of the curve whose equation is y=/(2). This rule includes also directions for examining the direction of curvature of the curve in the neighborhood of each point of inflection. y| x ¥Fmsr Srer. Find f"(2). Srconp Sruv.
